The sentencing hearing for former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort is underway at a Washington, DC federal courthouse.
This is Manafort's second sentencing hearing in as many weeks, with a judge expected to tack on additional prison time beyond the roughly four-year punishment he has already received.
Manafort, 69, faces up to 10 additional years in prison Wednesday in special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.
A judge in Virginia last week sentenced Manafort to 47 months in prison, far below sentencing guidelines that allowed for more than two decades in prison, prompting national debate about disparities in how rich and poor defendants are treated by the criminal justice system.
As U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson in Washington decides whether the sentences should run consecutively or at the same time, she is likely to take into account allegations by prosecutors that Manafort tampered with witnesses after he was charged and that he lied to investigators even after he pleaded guilty and pledged to cooperate.
